In the session of the eoneerees this morning
Mr.. Randall read rough draft of a bill
which had been prepared to meet as nearly
as possible the views of all the eonfefees. 1t
creates board to consist of the Secretary of
War, the Secretary of the Navy, the lleuten-
ant general of the army and two civilians to
expend the appropriations made by the bill.
In the event of the death or disability OF the
lieutenant general a civilian is to fill the va
cancv on the board. The bill authorizes the
purchase of number of guns which are to
be thoroughly tested and contemplates the
establishment OF government plant
for ordnance manufacture. Although in this
draft the appropriations for the different
items were not filled in, it is the present
intention of the conferees to allow about
So, 1000, 900 for the purchase and test of guns
under competitive system that will permit
of the selection of cast iron as well as steel
ordnance. Another appropriation of like
amount will be made for the purchase OF
steel and other materials necessary for the
making of heavy guns and to cover the eX-
penses of manufacture. Al appropriation
of million dollars for the establishment OF |
a government plant and provision for tor |
pedoes and dynamite guns will make the to-
tai appropriation of the bill over ten mil |
lions All of these items, however, are as
yet only fixed in a general way and may be |
changed before final report is agreed upon. |

allow do they make champagne2 Well,
you must remember that good deal of what
is labeled champagne is doctored with car
boiic acid gas. But the real stuff is made by
a mixture of ten or dozen different wines
made from certain varieties of foreign grapes.
The wines are first made separate, each from
n separate grape, then they are blended to-
gether for taste and bouquet in certain pro-
portions, well understood by winemakers.
The blended wines are then bottled and cork
ed, and undergo process of fermentation foE
two years. The bottles are then opened, the
sediment blown off, the wine is rebottled and
sweetened with rock candy sirup in proper.

Going Through without Fail

The Quincy Journal, speaking of the
proposed K. l. & @ road between Quin-
cy and this city, says:
That the company was organized for
business we have no doubt From the
day it was organized it has been busy
The company is getting the righrof way
as fast as it can between here and Fl
Madison. There is to be another meet
ing of the board of directors Friday, in
Chicago. Mayor Bishop will attend the
meeting, leaving here to morrow night, if
he can get away for that purpose, Mayor
Bishop from the first insisted that this
company was organized to build road
from Quincy to Rock Island, and great
deal has been done to back up his opin>
ion and statement. 1t is the intention of
this road to begin building operations
early in the spring.
The surveying corps of the company
ran line through Keithsburg last week
and continued SOUTH following the old
Rockford and Rock Island right of way
1t is the most practicable route near the
river, and it it evidently the design of
the company 10 follow the river banks as

CHICAGO TACTICS.

The OFT Repeated scheme of Freight
Rate Decentralization Against Inte-
rior Points.
A matter which demands the urgent at
tention ofthe Rock Island Business Men g
association or any other organization,
the stated purpose and aim of which is to
protect the commercial welfare of the city,
is the present condition of overland tariff
rates. 1t has been for years Chicago
trick to so arrange the rates from the
Pacific coast that car load freight may be
hauled to Chicago at the same rate that it
is brought to Mississippi points, thereby
either freezing out large part of the
smaller wholesale enterprises on the great
river. or driving them into Chicago.
Those who had suffered from this i'm
position fer years, nourished the hope
that the Interstate commerce law would
pat an end to this manipulation of freight
rates at the Chicago end of the line
But such it appears is not the case.
For q short time after the adops
ton of the Interstate law, the
overland carload rate to Chicago was
81. 20, while that to the cities of Daven-
port, Rock Island and Moline which are
classified as u common point was 81 Is
Recently, however. the rate to the three
cities has been raised to $1.20, making il
the same as TO Chicago, while the other
Mississippi river point rates remain un>
disturbed. Why these other points are
exempted from this advance. it would be
| difficult to Judge. At any rate, there is
difference of five cents added to the
trl-city rate. which to heavy shippers
| amounts TO Il good many hundred dollars
| in year. To one institution in Rock
| Island, for instance. the change of rates
amounts to something like $1,000 per
| annum, and unless there is an alteration
made, this industry will be obliged TO
shut up shop here and remove to Chlca-
! go.
The attention of our Business Mems
J association is respectfully called to this
matter, and the urgency of immediate
steps laid before it, so that action may be
taken without delay to bring about q
remedy for this injustice.

Halloween tricks He thought it would
be good joke to take off nieghbof's

that didn't make any difference. He

thought of it; so Friday night he went
over, and the idea was so funny that he
laughed aloud while he was unhinging the

laugh hen, for the old gentleman was res

which the Joke maker had to pass in order
to reach the front door. He had been in

he dreamed that the top of the base burn

heard Mr.. Joker's laugh. A big bucket
of Stops was in the kitchen and he made
il ready. As Joker passed beneath him, he
let the whole thing fly. and gate, Joker

ground. With howl and SILVER he
picked himself up and started off in such
affrigh: that he forgot about the open
gateway, and sprang clean over the fence,
where he again got into trouble, for he
sprawled over upon the sidewalk, when q
real naughty word escaped, as he picked
himself up and disappeared down the
street. his peace of mind in no wise in,
